Definitions
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged front elevation of the stacker wheel shown in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 9 is a flow diagram showing the operation of the bag stacking and stack loading equipment .
- the pick-up head 53 of the transfer assembly is shown with the restraining jaw 68 and pusher plate 69 of the head in an open position preparatory to engaging a bag stack 48 mounted on the stacker bar unit located in the loading station 37.
- the head includes a horizontally disposed platform 72 that is affixed to shaft 60 so that the platform rotates with the shaft in a horizontal plane.
- a housing 75 is pivotally mounted on the platform by means of a pivot 76 mounted in suitable bearing blocks so that the housing can rotate in a vertical plane within the platform. At this time the housing is tilted to the position shown by means of a tilt cylinder 77 that is secured to the platform by a support member 78.
- the restraining jaw 68 and pusher plate 69 of the head are movably contained within the carriage.
- the rear jaw 69 which may be referred to as a pusher plate, is connected to the piston rod 90 of drive cylinder 91 so that the rear jaw (pusher plate) can move independently toward and away from the backing plate of the carriage.
- the front jaw 68 which may be referred to as a restraining jaw, of the stack clamping mechanism is pivotally mounted in the distal end of the piston rod 92 of a second drive cylinder 93 which, in turn, is pivotally supported in raised member 94 affixed to the carriage.
- a pair of control links 95 are also attached to the front (restraining) jaw and adapted to swing about rotors 96 secured in the carriage.
